Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

having had the lovely experience of getting stuck on primeval whirl and having to walk off, all i can say is that style of ride scares me far more than giant coasters.

I rode it a bunch of times, and I don't get the negative guest feedback at all. It seemed popular enough every time that I rode it.

It’s a spinning wild mouse. While its an off the rack attraction, it is what it is. Doesn’t pretend to be a ride that its not. Why people would ever get off that ride disappointed is beyond me. You can literally stand in Dinoland and see what the ride is.

I wonder if this is all the cuts for now? Or if we're in for a steady stream of announcements over the coming days/weeks?

Iv been expecting cuts, but RoL was definitely a surprise to be gone for good.

I think absolutely we will see more cuts coming. They aren't able to keep up the costs so instead of opening them to minimal crowds and having to maintain them they are just outright announcing permanent closures. Things we will need to watch for in coming announcements will be indoor shows announcing permanent closures and possibly even People Mover? It moves above people's heads and through buildings and I'm not sure they will open that one, at least for a while-if at all.

If only a triceratop could also transform itself into a carpet.

Or....the triceratops has a basket attached and guests pay $5 to toss basketballs at the spinning dinosaur....that would be the true spirit of Dinoland.

possibly even People Mover?

Stop that. Stop it. No.

Don’t you put that evil into the universe.

Why'd you have to bring that up?

I'll never be over that........

Not sure if you have ever noticed the caption under my username buttttttt.....

I am definitely not over it.

TAKE THOSE DIRTY WORDS BACK RIGHT NOW

Stop that. Stop it. No.

It would be a monumental day of sadness but can you honestly say you can see a way they could open it right now? Reports of guests left and right seen without masks on rides, and with a ride that goes all over TL and over people's heads I do not a see a viable way to open it.

If they get rid of people mover we're storming the castle Gaston style!

I did not.

And I salute you.

And if, or when, things materialize to a more normal will we see only the highest profit margin "models" take center stage? I'll bet we do.

If they are going after boring rides, I really hope they don’t close Living with the Land. I know people poke fun at it but it’s seriously one of my favorites in Epcot.

 

[fla4fun]

I liked RoL until they took out the performers. Then it became kind of meh to me. The other two never interested me but I feel for people losing an attraction they love.

In other news, I did not have to go to the cooling tent at Epcot today. The only differences between today and yesterday are that it was cloudy while riding the Skyliner today and I forgot I had unloaded the car before coming over yesterday, which is always a hot job. I took my temperature in the room but it was before bringing all the stuff in. I do recommend bringing a thermometer with you to check your temperature in the room. I have a very accurate oral thermometer I brought.

So far not too many noses, just one yesterday and one today.

Our next trip we were going to hit all the things we’ve never been on. I’ve been going to Disney since the late 70’s as a little one (yes, I’m old), and have never been on Astro Orbiter.

Just a note: not a place to discuss which rides you have not been on or to speculate what else may be leaving.

My DS loved Primeval Whirl but in all honesty I am still wishing the entire Dinoland area would be converted to Indiana Jones. I believe Dinosaur is the same ride building as the DL Indy ride, the Dino dig site could be re-themed as an artifact dig site and the rest needs the Indy roller coaster!!

There are some ideas I should never be exposed to because the hope of them is too painful. But this idea is perfect.
